Indoor Fireworks

Here's my weekly shadowy find. Thanks again to Hey Harriet for starting and continuing this fun meme! This is an easy one, found in my living room:

That's all, folks! Do check out more cool looks into the world of light and shadow, here!

A Crazy Cloudy Sunset

This past Monday I came home from work, and was greeted by this:

I thought it was pretty cool and dramatic, so I quickly took a photo. About five minutes went by, and it had turned into this - similar, but also cool:

Please understand, these aren't black and white photos - that's just as colorful as it was outside. I was in a rush to go to a friend's house, so I wasn't paying much attention, but ten minutes later, when I happened to glance outside again, it had become this!

Whoa! Suffice it to say that I was completely blown away. 

Happy Skywatch Friday, everyone! For more sky oriented photos from all around the world, click here.

Windows? Doorways? Maybe.

Here's a photo that I took over the summer, and have wanted to post for some time. I just now decided that it fits into the Windows and Doors meme. I'm not entirely convinced that it does, but, well, yeah, I think so.

It's a cool photo, anyway!

Trust me, we were there, it was cool. Nothing's like the Old City of Jerusalem! Click on the photo if you'd like to enlarge it, and get a more textured view.

12 Kuvaa (better late than never?)

Well, here I am at last! I apologize for the delay - I hope my update is worth the wait :)

For those of you who don't know, 12 Kuvaa is a monthly meme that started in September. People from all over the world are photographing scenes in the same place, at the same time of day, so that we can watch the seasons go by. What could be cooler?

Here's my first submission, from September. The view is of the park in front of my house:

Here's the same scene, from October:

And now, what you've all been waiting for: the park, from today, November 17, at 16:30...

As you can see, it's too cold and windy for playing in the park :( 

That's all, folks! Don't forget to check out how November looks to everyone else, here! And stay tuned next month for our next installment!

Fluffy flowers

Here's a pretty bunch that I caught at the botanical gardens a couple of years ago. Aren't they adorable?

Do check out more flowers of the day here. Happy Sunday, everyone!

Shadow Shot - a little early

This one seems a little silly, but I couldn't resist. My daughter and I noticed these Mickey Mouse ears while walking down the sidewalk in Jerusalem, a few weeks ago:

Skywatch - so easy

Skywatch is the easiest meme for me - I constantly find myself taking pictures of cloud formations, sunrises, and sunsets. I've probably got enough to post one a day, to tell the truth. So the difficulty for me is choosing a favorite to post once a week :)

Here's my choice this week: a sunset.

Don't forget to check out more sky photography at Skywatch Friday. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Just Thursday

No meme for me today - it's just a regular, miscellaneous photo. I've been looking for the perfect chala recipe for a long time now, and I think I may have finally found it! These turn out fluffy on the inside, with a really delicious, crispy crust. At any rate, I thought this batch looked so pretty, I just had to photograph it:

They look even better close up - feel free to click on the photo, to enlarge it.

That's all, folks. Happy Thursday!

Efrat Windows

I decided to look for some local windows this week. What's that saying from The Wizard of Oz? Something about not looking further than your own backyard? So that's really true in this case - here are some windows from... my apartment!

We live in the top two floors of an apartment building in Efrat. Even before we had ever stepped foot inside, this "turret" look had always intrigued me. What fun it must be to live in a castle! Can you guess what's inside that cylindrical shape?

I also like the little square-inside-a-circle window, although it certainly could use a cleaning!

Do check out more window (and door) photography here, hosted by Mary. Happy Wednesday, everyone!

More parking lot rubies

Who would have thought that my parking lot at work would be such a treasure trove! (Surely you remember its previous contribution.) I bumped into these rubies yesterday afternoon, as I was leaving:
